David Bowie • Brian Eno • Art Gallery Interview

[@PninianPnin]

What amazing people. Both brilliant musicians.

[@TealSkeletore]

Listening to David Bowie talking about art is like listening to some kind of deity.. so artgasmic.

[@andalltheangelssay212]

I was waiting for Brian and David to go into their Dud and Pete art gallery routine.

[@purewish]

The "lost at sea/in a plane" pieces are by Kate Bush. They are adorable. Bowie is hilarious here.

[@ivankaramasov]

Probably the two only artists working within pop music who can properly be called geniuses. Seriously, I mean these two are in the same league as Picasso, Bach, James Joyce or Stanely Kubrick. Maybe you could say the same about Bob Dylan, but that is about it.

[@davidcopson5800]

I cannot believe that in 11 years no one has replied to this comment. (they still haven't).

Dealing is not a musician, but a poet.

The Kate Bush frames David was holding actually were not just black; they each had a little red blinking LED light representing the person in each piece.

[@karachay9383]

how much did cost that frames?

[@yvonnecampbell7036]

Oooh, thanks. Now it makes sense.

[@misterapplesyd]

The interviewer was a bit off but David delightfully played around and didnt seem at all snarky (like he sometimes was) he was cute and Eno just watching was also cute lmao

[@newnewly]

each in his or her own time, finds an outlet for the inner vision in relation to "talent"....what you git, you git, then, there, where ever...

[@vivemaker]

The interviewer is not interested at all. She fails to hide it. These two legends deserve better.

[@tensago]

quick witted bowie!

[@NudeRockENT]

Phenomenal

[@zarathustra1077]

great! My Heroes!!!

[@davidcopson5800]

Sounded like Eno was a lodger.

[@tensago]

Ha! bowies expression at 5:33..."come on you silly cow!"...

[@trylonperisphere]

Some people think we rely too much on celebrities to solve all our problems.

[@joeessid6231]

The Mutt and Jeff show, revisited with Eno as straight man. Such sombre reptiles, this pair.

[@davidcopson5800]

Certainly not little fishes anyway.

[@siempra78]

It is a shame that AT felt the need to make the presentation more about her than the thing she was presenting, it is actually quite interesting that this was early fundraising project for WARCHILD (at the time) and it was exploring a way for musicians to raise money and awareness without using music directly. Real shame AT was not open to that or DB's ability to switch from sarcasm to being serious.

[@tattietumshie]

David Bowie never went to art school. He went to Bromley Technical High School. He left at 16.

[@Sharperthanu1]

I believe that but Brian Eno went to the Ipswich Art school

[@davidcopson5800]

But while he was there he drew a caricature of his TD teacher.

[@rosemarymills1671]

and?

[@Sharperthanu1]

The only reason they got a bid on Eno's painting for nine hundred thousand pounds is because of the FAMOUS NAME.Famous names is what give artworks financial investment value

[@davidcopson5800]

A painting by any other name would not smell as sweet.

[@paddy9i99]

Bowie being his usual oblique self. Probably putting off the happy-clappy Anthea Turner.

[@davidcopson5800]

It was just a strategy.

[@iggyono]

Gents, fess up, now. I know that all of the earlier comments were actually written by Bowie or Eno.

[@leonakita]

What year is this???

[@leonakita]

Looks like mid 90s

[@ivankaramasov]

@jarvizcocker Maybe I went a bit over the top. Or maybe up the hills backwards.

[@ivankaramasov]

Bach would have had only contempt for Mozart's music. Anyway, I can see from your interesing list of favourites that you obviously think that the golden age is behind us. Must be tragic to live thinking that. I don't think further discussion will lead anywhere.

[@beelzabubba]

@lifeismusic08 She walked in and completely ignored him (Bowie) and talked directly to Eno... a bit disrespectful I would say... she should have at least intoduced them both and then started with the inquisition.

[@ArtTube333]

Can you imagine ignoring Bowie

[@opertain]

U wuld think some1 who creates something so.... Outhere would b so.... out there. But hes not, hes very down to earth. Eno i meen.

[@Sharperthanu1]

You've never actually MET him.I have and I can tell you that Eno ISN'T ALWAYS so "down to earth."Eno is actually very egotistical sometimes and too status conscious.So much so that it's unattractive.Eno says he doesn't believe is being status conscious anymore but I don't know if I should trust that statement.Eno can be very too faced.

[@davidcopson5800]

@@Sharperthanu1 This comment is two much.

[@ivankaramasov]

If you are measuring them as composers I certainly agree with you. At least, when it comes to Bach and Beethoven (Mozart is terribly overrated and lacks depth). But the music is only a small part of their artistery. If I should mention someone who are in the same league as Bach and Beethoven in modern times, I would probably pick Bartok, Ligeti and Messiaen. But it is hard to compare.

[@BowdenSpace]

As so it goes..

[@dowen679]

@etrapmela haha - totally! maybe he had breakfast with Ricky Gervais...

[@TRAFOZS]

Her name's Anthea Turner... I remember Tin Machine on the Terry Wogan TV show and db was a little dismissive of him too.... TRAFOZS

[@davidcopson5800]

Actually, she looks like the aforementioned John Foxx.

[@rosemarymills1671]

Gee, am so disappointed to know he has a flaw!!

[@nic123ification]

DB could be an arsehole at times such as in this instance. Brian Eno on the other hand I have a lot of respect for. A well mannered, educated man.

[@ivankaramasov]

No, I don't believe in progress. But I don't believe in decline either.

[@davidcopson5800]

Stars of the Lid do.

[@genroku7]

DB is a fine musician but always a lousy talker, interrupting, intervening, etc., with, of course, his good voice.

[@davidcopson5800]

Bowie is not a lousy talker.

[@nic123ification]

... and thinking how clever he was when in reality he came across as an arsehole! 😂

[@ivankaramasov]

I see thay you prefer to call all views that are different from your own ignorant. I guess that is the mark of the genius. Oh, well. Considering my view on Mozart, I believe for example Glenn Gould might have agreed. But then again he was a very ignorant man. Obviously.
